The Role of Views of Nature in Dutch Nature Conservation: The Case of the Creation of a Drift Sand Area in the Hoge Veluwe National Park

Environmental Values 13(2004): 187-198. doi: 10.3197/0963271041159868

Nature conservation requires choices about what sort of nature should be protected in what areas and includes value judgments on what nature is and/or should be. This paper studies the role of differing views of nature in nature conservation. A case study on the creation of a drift sand area in the Netherlands illustrates how nature conservation disputes can be understood as a conflict in views of nature.

KEYWORDS: Nature conservation, views of nature, wilderness, pastoral idyll, drift sand, Hoge Veluwe
